Every question built upon the previous.<p>The first question was something like, \"These are the definitions of variables: A string is... An integer is... A date is...\" Then the question would be something like, \"What can '15232' be? a. an integer b. a string c. a date d. any of the above e. a and c\".<p>Another question might be \"Here are the rules of precedence... What is (1 + 2) * (3 + 4) / 3 a. 4 b. 2 c. 7 d. 12 e. Can't tell for sure.\"<p>It got more and more complex, all in their own pseudocode. They covered branching, iteration, arithmetic operations, Boolean algebra, etc. Things most people here have seen a million times. Kinda like SATs for programmers.","time":1266849200,"type":"comment"}
